"And when's that ever helped anyone? When's that ever helped you? Look at yourself, Kailen. You're still clinging to a brief couple months from nine years ago and you dress like a hobo. You can't have much in the way of a life out there And look at me. Healthy, happy, successful... Let's be honest here, I'm gonna be president of the United States in about a year. Besides, I do still have feelings. Just not for you."

It was easy to tell how much that stung even without Stephanie's training. "Funny enough, I never got the impression you cared for this job, either."

"Impressions can be deceiving. President has always been my ambition, Kailen, long before I met you."

"Oh, I didn't mean that," Kailen said. "I meant lying."

"I haven't lied to you since you walked in here?" Stephanie frowned. "Anyway, I just wasn't very good at lying. There's a difference."

"Whatever," he said, and suddenly the song came back to him. That was it. Kailen started humming, hoping it would work.

A fierce wind swept through the office, and Stephanie's expression immediately changed to one of anger. "You are crossing a line I really don't think you want to cross." She said darkly, her eyes narrowed. "Get out."

"What do you care? I'm just a delusional hobo," Kailen said.

"You're not funny Kailen. I've had a conversation with you, using your powers on me is going too far. Get out of my office before I call security."

"I just want to understand what happened to you, Stephanie!"

"I moved on with my life, how hard is that to understand? I buckled down, learned the lessons I was supposed to learn, put them to use and did it right this time. Nothing's changed, I'm just smarter, older and more mature, something you clearly cannot say for yourself!"

"Fine!" Kailen left the office. What was he supposed to do now? He couldn't just leave it like that.

Stephanie began cleaning up the mess her wind had made of her papers.
"Have a nice day, sir!" The secretary said with a smile as Kailen left.

Kailen didn't even acknowledge her. He started home, running his hand through his hair. He had no idea what to do. What could he do?

As he neared his home, a woman who seemed rather too well-dressed for this part of the city stopped him. "Excuse me!" She asked. "Do you know a woman named Marianne Wellson? She told me she lived near here, but I think I might be lost."
